Built on the same features as the SR60, but utilizes a 4 conductor connecting cable and larger ear cushions, the result of which gives a more open stage. The SR80 provides an improved bass resonance, which enhances the overall detail. John Grado says he strove for the best sounding phones for the money, and with the glowing reviews the SR80's have received, who can argue.

I could not be happier with these. I drive them with my laptop and my mp3 player and they work fabulously. Even my wife likes them :)

Grados sr 60s are a better value than these sr-80s

The only difference between the 60s and 80s are the bowl pads (used SR80 through RS1) and slightly improved 4 conductor cable. Considering the bowls themselves cost up to 25 dollars the slight price bump is justified. Might make them a little less comfortable and bright for some people though.
